R.I.P. LucasArts [1982-2013]
12 years ago
As many of you know, I don't post journals much. But this is truly mind-blowing. As of today (April 3rd) Disney has closed down LucasArts. The company was widely known for creating classic adventure games, Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle (Maniac Mansion 2), Monkey Island, The Digg, Sam and Max: Hit the Road, Star Wars games, among many, many other (point and click adventure) classics that we all enjoyed while growing up. This truly is a sad day for gamers everywhere.
Their going to still release titles -- just subcontracting development out to more (competent) developers...
